18th club, whose next?

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

I’d myself would have the Brisbane Tigers before any overseas teams, the Auckland/NZ Warriors were/are enough for me.
There are only two things standing in the Brisbane Tigers way
1).The Dolphins recent entry into the NRL.
2).The Tigers brand is already taken.
Unfortunately these are the very reasons that could see the Tigers lose out to either NZ2 or PNG.

The Brisbane Tigers should rebrand as the Brisbane Bengals or Brisbane Raptors. I'm not sold on "Firehawks".

Imagine when the bears get back in, the annual article will become... bring the bears back to Sydney

Then they'll work on the Jets, Glebe and Annandale.

To fight against the AFL’s incursion into South East Queensland, the NRL should award a licence to the Burleigh Bears. It’s the only way.

Nobody here has even talked about the Fiji bid

international expansion just isn’t sexy to these “expansionists”

PNG and Fiji should never be considered as viable destinations. They offer no monetary value and will never attract elite players.

What would you do if Burleigh purchased a controlling stake in the Titans and rebranded the club as the Gold Coast Bears?

Mate getting fallen Sydney clubs back into the game is all that matters. f**k the history and tradition of everyone else's clubs though

I am scrolling through the fumbler forum and they are talking about why gws is failing unlike the swans and the theme was it should’ve been a transplanted Melbourne club like north Melbourne

Cowboys were not given $600m over 10 years by the Aus Gov. They were given a few million by News Ltd to pay off debts and extend Willows after broken arse Sydney clubs extorted $800k out of the club in 1995 for flight and accommodation in Townsville.

The Cowboys pulled an average attendance of over 21k in their first season. There were Sydney clubs drawing a quarter of that.

After their first 5 years the Cowboys were the third highest earning club for revenue from sponsorship and corporate hospitality.

I'd love to see Burleigh take over the Titans. The club might have a chance to grow and become successful under the ownership of Burleigh. Frizelle doesn't know what she's doing.

It's hosted RU Tests and international soccer games. Tonight it held the women's Origin.

AwFuL tried to relocate North Melbourne to the Gold Coast. The club wouldn't leave its market.

Fitzroy Lions and South Melbourne Swans don't compete in the VFL.

The point is the Bears and Jets are trying to have their cake and eat it too. They're not willing to relocate all of their operations to Perth. They want to retain their brand at NSW Cup level and below. They're also trying to take NRL premiership games back to Sydney.

So the bears give up their junior pathways that are producing kids that are beating teams dominated by nrl teams juniors

close down their leagues club that pays for that and could helps support a perth club

doesn’t sound smart to me

jets would be a full move they have nothing in Sydney now tbh

Henson park is home to the swans women side has afl sticks up most days

Which is why I think the Bears should wait until the NRL considers basing a team on the Central Coast. It wouldn't hurt the Bears to relocate to Gosford and rebrand as the Central Coast Bears at all levels. That way they'll help the game grow in an important market.
